How would people get mad if you want to research how to prevent it ?!?! You’re not excusing the behavior, you want to find out on how to prevent it from happening...🤦♀️
Either way, thank you, please do that. I’m sure it’ll be hard and very disturbing work, but I think it would be an amazing contribution.
I feel like that area of research is so underdeveloped because, obviously, pedophilia is digusting and no one wants to sympathize with them at all, and no one wants to understand why it happens. But i feel like there’s some pedophiles that can be treated with proper mental help.
I saw something ages ago about how there are a lot of pedophiles who don’t act on their desires and don’t harm children because they know it’s something terrible. Yet I doubt they seek help because of their shame. Yet also, if it goes untreated, it’s more likely they would eventually act on it…🫤
Yeah, all of that is true, but I've already had several people tell me it's "suspicious" that I want to research it. And I'm a woman! I can't imagine how men in the field get treated.
